Mal ,'Heart Of Gold'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I watched The Aviator last night. The first two hours were dull as dry toast, and the last hour was really good, I thought. Leo DiCaprio was great in that last hour.
I did get a laugh out of the scene where Katharine Hepburn takes him to meet her folks, though.
The Aviator is 3 hours? Damn, that just got bumped WAY down my must-watch list.
It really didn't need all three, either.
Also saw Madigascar this weekend. I enjoyed it. Though the penguins are what made it for me.
Nutty, I love you. It's totally true.
the English director's shrewdest move may have been bringing in Goyer to help craft the script. Nolan is an Oscar-nominated screenwriter (for "Memento") but he's a Batman novice; Goyer, who wrote the "Blade" film trilogy, sheepishly admits he knows more about the character than many people at DC Comics.
If that's the criteria, we should start a campaign to get Plei to write the sequel.
Question: Were there any notable "woman gets violent revenge on those who done her wrong" movies prior to Kill Bill? I'm drawing a blank on this one.
I Spit on Your Grave.

Oh hell yeah. It's a huge exploitation genre. In fact, most of the movies QT references are variations on the theme, including Lady Snow and They Call Her One Eye. As tommyrot notes, I Spit On Your Grave. Abel Ferrera's Ms. 45. Lipstick, with Mariel Hemingway. The list goes on and on.
